APRIL PUBLIC PROGRAMS

Each iteration of this monthly series will focus on one specific artwork, artist, or theme found in our current exhibitions, welcoming families for a brief tour followed by an engaging activity developed specifically for children, ages 5-12.

Paper Cities will have children cut, colour, and arrange reproductions of well-known monuments, linking to exhibiting artist Kotama Bouabane's photography, to travel the world and create their own city of famous monuments.

Registration required.

LATE NIGHT THURSDAY

/ Fritz Lang's MetropolisThursday, April 13, 20176:00-9:00 PM | FREE

Combining film screenings, local guest speakers, cocktails, coffee, music, and food, Late Nights at Contemporary Calgary invites Calgarians to learn about contemporary art, architecture, and design while enjoying a night out with friends.

For the inaugural Late Night Thursday, Fritz Lang's Metropolis will be screening in the Top Gallery. This cult film portrays a futuristic urban dystopia inspired by the visual language of Art Deco and German Expressionism.
